5. Sub in a Pond

People were curious and amazed to see a submarine partially emerged at a pond in a district of Moscow, Russia. Everyone wondered how and why it got into the small body of water on the popular European social media website VK (Vkontakte), where this picture of the vessel was published. The source was quickly revealed, and it was far from exciting and slightly disappointing. A construction company launched the submarine into the pond as an odd publicity stunt.

4. Czarist Sub

Ocean X a team that makes money by exploring underwater wrecks and discovering historical treasures uncovered a Russian sub dating back more than a century off of the coast of Sweden. Experts determined that the sub was built in 1904 and sunk after colliding with a Swedish vessel in 1916. The submarine is around 66 feet long and eleven and a half feet in width.

3. Failed Sub

The U-581 was a Nazi-built craft that was charged with destroying a British squad carrier in February 1942. The submarine failed its mission and was taken down by a British destroyer. Rather than surrender the vessel and its crew the captain elected to let it sink while its crew attempted to get away. While most were taken prisoner one officer onboard made a miraculous escape by swimming four miles to land. Earlier this year German researchers unearthed the historical relic off the coast of Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

2. USS Herring

Russian divers that were part of a joint expedition into Russia’s Far Eastern Kuril archipelago discovered the USS Herring, a World War two era submarine in mid-2016. The highly decorated craft was on its eight mission when it was sunk by the Japanese. Before it went down, it was able to sink several Japanese ships making its final mission successful despite the fact that it was dropped to the depths of the sea.

1. Simushir (sigh mugh) sheer Island

Rumors circulated for years that the Soviet Union had established a secret submarine base on the northern end of Simushir Island, which lies about 250 miles off the coast of Japan. Eventually, it was revealed that the remote volcanic island did indeed hold an area that included a town that was built to surround a submarine base. At its peak, the village held around three thousand people. Three docks, only one of which is still there, were used for subs in between missions. Today the entire place is rusted and has fallen into decay.
